A beautiful new piece.
About three years ago I bought an MS 63 gold Sesquicentennial commemorative. I love the design of this coin, both the obverse and the reverse are intriguing. On the obverse you have Liberty holding the Declaration of Independence in one hand, and the Torch of Freedom in the other. The reverse is Independence Hall in Philadelphia with a faint sun rising behind the building.
You can read much more about the history behind this coin in my gold commemorative registry set, if you'd like.
Pictured below is my new upgraded MS 65+ coin, my Sesquicentennial button and bell, and my sheet of four USPS two cent Sesquicentennial commemorative stamps that were released in 1926. The button features dual dates, same as the coin, and a replica of the Liberty Bell hangs from the button and actually rings when worn. The stamps feature the Liberty Bell and the dual dates as well.
All together a beautiful set of ephemera from almost 90 years ago.
